TORBAL Precision scale is a sensitive and a delicate instrument. Always
handle your scale with care.
Cautionary notes and precautions
The correct location and proper environment
makes an important contribution to the
accuracy of the weighing results of TORBAL
precision scales.
The optimum location for your scale:
- Stable, vibration-free base as horizontal as
possible
- Away from direct sunlight
- Not exposed to high temperature variations
- Away from direct drafts
The best location is on a stable bench away
from direct drafts, doors, windows, radiators
and air conditioner vents.
CAUTION:
- The scale may only be used indoors.
- Do not operate the scale in hazardous areas or conditions.
- Do not use the scale in locations subject to high humidity or
dust levels.
- Do not connect cables in ways other than those mentioned
in this manual.
- Be sure to set the scale on a firm, stable, horizontal
surface.
- Never stand on or lean on this product. Equipment may fall
or collapse, causing breakage and possible injury.
- Before moving the product, unplug it and unplug all cables
connected to it.
- When storing, transporting or returning the scale for
service, always use the original packaging.
WARNING:
- Never attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the scale
yourself. Tampering with the scale may result in injury and
cause more damage to the equipment.
- Be sure to use the specified power source.
- Do not allow foreign matter to fall into the scale.
- If water or other liquid spills into the scale, do not continue
to use it. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact
technical support.

1. Carefully remove the scale, pan,
scanner, and all of its components out
of the packaging and place them on a
stable base where the scale will not be
affected by any mechanical vibrations
or air movements.
2. After removing the pan base and the pan from their packaging, carefully
install the pan base onto the scale by placing it on the pan support located
in the middle of the scale. Once the pan base has been installed, carefully
place the pan on the base as shown below.

3. Connect the scanner to the scale by plugging in the RJ connector to the
scanner and the RS232 connector to the scale. The RS232 port is
located in the rear of the scale. Using a small flat-head screwdriver,
tighten the connector screw to secure the cable and prevent it from
unintentional unplugging.
